  • Total Time: 37 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Marinade

  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (45 g)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar (15 g)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil (5 g)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced or frozen garlic cubes
  • 3 tsp ginger, minced or frozen ginger cubes
  • 1 tsp honey (5 g)
  • 1 tsp chili garlic sauce (5 g)
  • ½ lime, juiced (8 g)
  • handful of cilantro, chopped (6 g)

Main Ingredient

  • 1 ½ lb sockeye salmon (672 g), skin on
  • Kosher salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, honey, chili garlic sauce, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.
  2. Marinate the Salmon: Place the sockeye salmon in a shallow dish or a resealable ziplock bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring it is well coated. Cover or seal and refrigerate to marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 8 hours for maximum flavor infusion.
  3. Preheat the Broiler: When ready to cook, preheat your oven broiler and position a rack on the second highest level. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  4. Prepare Salmon for Broiling: Remove the salmon from the marinade and place the fillets skin side down on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with kosher salt and crack fresh black pepper over the top.
  5. Broil the Salmon: Broil the salmon on low heat setting for 3-5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets and your desired doneness. If more color or slight crisping is preferred, broil on high for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve hot. This salmon is excellent with steamed rice, noodles, sautéed or steamed vegetables, or atop a fresh Asian slaw for a complete meal.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, adjust the amount of chili garlic sauce to your preference.
  • Marinating longer (up to 8 hours) enhances the salmon’s flavor but avoid exceeding this to prevent the fish from becoming mushy.
  • Use parchment paper or a non-stick surface to avoid the salmon sticking to the pan while broiling.
  • Monitor salmon closely under the broiler to prevent overcooking, as broilers vary in intensity.
  • If fresh garlic or ginger is unavailable, frozen cubes are a convenient alternative.
